They say a bark is worse than it’s bite for a reason.

At least he didn’t get hit by the whole tree.

Do growls sneak up on you?

Park the bark……

Gesundheit!?

Just like a few other things do and at the worst times.

Is it supposed to be similar to a hick up?

Love Odi’s expression in the last panel :-) he is worth a cuddle.

That was pure instinct.

SBS (Sudden Bark Syndrome)?

Beware the Surprise Bark Attack

Yep – exactly what my Rat Terrier does from time-to-time.

As they say, when you gotta bark, you gotta bark.

after the hiccups…THE BARK!

happens to me all the time…

2nd panel, did the cat get Odies tongue? It’s missing

They do that…

Yeah, those barks really can sneak up on you, like a sneeze or a cough.

How is that even possible?

kinda like one of those sneezes that starts… then stops… then comes back when you least expect it

better than the other end

I thought maybe Odie swallowed his tongue.

Like an itch you can’t scratch.
